UNIABUJA Takes Action Against Land Encroachment at Convocation
The University of Abuja held its 29th and 30th convocation ceremonies, where it emphasized its commitment to protecting its land from unlawful encroachment. Pro-Chancellor Sen. Olarenwaju Tejuoso warned that any illegal occupation of university land would no longer be tolerated and urged current occupiers to regularize their status or vacate immediately.
The university's leadership, including Vice Chancellor Prof. Hakeem Fawehinmi, highlighted the importance of discipline and hard work among graduates. They were reminded that mere accumulation of knowledge is insufficient, referencing Aristotle's view on education.
Former Head of State Gen. Yakubu Gowon delivered a goodwill message, stressing the need for collective efforts from stakeholders to build a world-class institution. The ceremonies concluded with awards for the best graduating students, who received monetary gifts and job opportunities, reflecting the university's commitment to excellence and community development.
